About
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of a resorbable barrier membrane for the prevention of abdominal and peri-hepatic adhesion in patients with colorectal cancer requiring two-stage surgery for the resection of hepatic metastases.
Eligible patients will be randomly assigned to one of 2 arms:
The primary objective is to establish, in patients with colorectal cancer requiring two-stage surgery for the resection of hepatic metastases, the efficiency of a resorbable barrier membrane (Seprafilm) for limiting abdominal and peri-hepatic adhesion during the second operation.
This study is a prospective multicentric phase II, controlled, randomized and non comparative trial.
A total of 60 patients will be enrolled: 45 will receive Seprafilm whereas 15 will be assigned to the no-treatment control group. The inclusion period should be approximately 18 months. The follow up period after the second surgery will be 3 years.
Full description
The secondary objectives of the study are:
During and after the 1st surgical procedure To evaluate immediate complications (during surgery), early complications (during post-surgery hospitalization) and late complications (between 1st and 2nd surgeries) in relation with operating procedure and use of resorbable membrane.
During and after the 2nd surgical procedure
